My invention relates to an improvement in automobile cleaning andwashing brushes.

One object of my invention is toprovide a brush adapted to be connectedwith a garden 5 hose through which water is delivered to the brush.

The water discharge nozzle of the brush is embedded in its bristles, thelatter completely surrounding the nozzle and projecting beyond its freeend to protect highly polished surfaces from injury, which mightotherwiseV occur if the nozzle should contact therewith.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in View which will appe-ar as thedescription proceeds'7 the invention further resides in the combinationand arrangement of Vparts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed andclaimed, it being understood that changes may be made inthe precise embodiment of the inventionherein disclosed withoutdeparting from the spirit of the same. i

In the drawing accompanying this invention:

Figure l is a side elevation of the washing brush.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View of the same attached to ahose.

Figure 3 is a diagrammatic view of a fragment of the brush prior toceiling it upon the perforated end of the nozzle, forming a core for thebrush. Y

Figure 4 is a diagrammatic view of a fragment of the perforated portionof the nozzle in longitudinal section, showing a pair of twisted wirescoiled thereon supporting the bristles forming the brush-the ends of thewires being secured to the nozzle.

placed upon the drawing:

A denotes a nozzle, provided at its outer screwed into a coupling memberB, tappedV 45 to receive a cooperating fitting C connecting it with ahose D, to which it is attached.

E denotes a rubber gasket to insure a watertight joint between the.coupling members. F indicates a handle preferably formed 5 of wood,sleeved upon the nozzle.

Referring now to the letters of reference` i G denotes a thrust collaralso sleeved upon Vthe nozzle at the forward end of the handle having avcup-shaped.socketubearing against the end of a brush H,vthef`bristlesH1` ofV which are held' between al pair of twistedn55 wires HiL coiledaround the nozzle,-'to deflect the bristles of the brush-toward theforward end of the nozzle, therebyconcealing it cornpletely from view. 1g 'Y The twistedstrands of wire supporting the bristles maybe secured tothe nozzle in any suitable mannen-for examplelthe ends la; may

project through any opening in the nozzle, or. A

they may be soldered thereto asindicated at Ztl-see Figure 4; Y i

Secured in the end of-the'nozzle is a small brush I, which incombination with the main brush portion forms a pointedend to assist inguiding the brush into narrow or otherwise restricted openings.' '.70'

The operation of the devicek will be readily understood. l

The nozzle is attached to a garden hose through which water passes, tothe brush I-I upon opening a Valve-not shown-control- 1,75 ling thedelivery of water thereto. AThe operator applies thebrush to the surfaceand as the water flows therethrough onto thesurface to be cleaned, itquickly washes and rinses to obtain satisfactory results. f

Having thus described'my invention, what I claim is: i

1. In a cleaning and washingbrush, the combination of a pipe nozzle ttedat one end :V with a coupling 'memberfor attachment to a cooperatinghose coupling, saidpipe nozzle being perforated at its forward end forthe discharge of water; 4and a brush having bristles secured between aVpair of twisted wires 1199 coiled relatively close together around thenozzle, that the bristles may be massed and project radially from andlongitudinally beyond the end of the nozzle, the ends of saidpair ofwires extending through a hole in the nozzle and soldered to the nozzleto secure the brush thereon.

2. In a cleaning and washing brush,the combination of a pipe nozzlescrew-threaded at one end to receive a hose coupling member, :1.00

said pipe nozzle perforated at its forward end for the discharge ofwater; an annular brush sleeved upon and secured to the perorated end ofthe nozzle, its radially disposed bristles concealing, inclosing andprojecting longitudinally beyond the end of said y nozzle, whereby thesurface washed is protected from contact therewith; a cup shaped thrustcollar sleeved on the nozzle adjacent the innerend of the brush, adaptedto deflect v Vsaid radially disposed bristles in a longitudinaldirection, thereby massing the bristles closely around the nozzle andconcealing it from View; a handle sleeved upon the nozzle contacting atone end with the thrust collar;

and a hose coupling member screwed upon the end of the nozzle, wherebyupon adjustment, the handle is gripped between the thrust collar and thehose coupling member.

In testimony whereof, I sign this specification.
